Which band Is more Interesting For you

I recent bought Sisters of Mercy - Box set - 4 CD's worth of music. $20
I think it's going to be a good purchase with Autumn coming on.
I bought " Rare Cult " years ago - that was curious box set.
I added The Cure for kicks ! Ha !

Love the sisters of mercy. Saw them live years ago. They were awesome.

I voted Sisters Of Mercy; I just wish they had more in their catalogue.  I find some of their stuff to be brilliant like "This Corrosion", "More", "Vision Thing", etc.  

I like The Cult too but I find them sort of erratic.  

And I pretty much can't stand The Cure.

EDIT: And if you like Sisters, check out Rosetta Stone:

Voted The Cult but I enjoy stuff by all three bands.

The Cult by a mile.

The Cure I don't know well enough to properly pass judgment. I don't know them. Their videos and singles I don't like. Or basically just don't care for. They might be good at what they do, but it's not music for me. Not my type. I don't enjoy it. So I exclude them from this comparison.

The other two I have listened to and enjoy but only one I would pay (and have paid) money for. That's the Cult. Sisters of Mercy had good albums that I liked at one point when I heard them, but they don't move me. And they sucked live when I saw them at a festival. Like, one of the worst and most dull and lifeless live acts I've seen, complete with playback drums. But at least their studio albums are good. You can't deny Floodland.

But the Cult are really REALLY cool. I really like their 80's albums and also that one 90's CD that I never ended up buying. But I own the three from Love to the Sonic Temple. Worth owning in my opinion. The clear cut winner here. Love just takes me places. Great sound. Arena rock, but not really. Not as poppy and quirky as the Cure, not as goth and poseurish as Sisters of Mercy. Harder and more emotional

Lari, you need to check out Beyond Good and Evil, my second fave of The Cult.

I echo this sentiment except I think Beyond Good and Evil is the best thing The Cult have done.

I am a huge fan of all three of them, but Sisters of Mercy are just incredible, Nine Inch Nails before Nine Inch Nails were even thought of

Yeah that's the one from the 90s I meant. I have heard it and liked it.

It came out in 2001, I thought you meant their self titled album.

My wife dragged me to a Cure concert once, and it was an hour and a half of the most boring shit I ever had to sit through. It was one long drab boring song to my ears. Everything sounded the same, and I can't for the life of me understand how people listen to that without waiting to blow their brains out lol

Never really listened to Sisters of Mercy, so no comment there.

The Cult by a long shot. Not my favorite band, but I do like the couple albums I've heard.

The Cult

I don't think I've ever heard Sisters Of Mercy. And as for the Cure, I've certainly heard of them and I'm sure I've heard a song or two but I can't for the life of me name one. So by default, I'm going with the Cult. I at least I have one album by them (Sonic Temple).

You've never heard Sisters of Mercy?  Not even this one (it was a minor "hit"):



This is the radio edit; the album version is over 7 minutes long.

Warrel Dane covered, Lucretia My Reflection. That has to give SoM some cred.

The Cure for me.

Very well written, clever songs.

Nope. Doesn't sound familiar at all.

Love all three but my obsession was The Sisters but when they were bad, they were awful, but when they were great?

Girls dig the Sisters of Mercy, incl my wife.

The Cult got my vote.
